pz-icon-maker 1.1.0 - character & animation viewer

What's new in 1.1.0

Character and animation viewer

A new mode, opened with the Character… button in the icon window, renders a full
Project Zomboid character you can dress, arm, and animate:

• Build the character -- gender, skin tone, hair, beard, clothing (meshed, composite,
  and static hats), and weapons or items held in either hand.
• Animate -- browse the game's ~1,800 human and zombie clips in a searchable grid,
  grouped into categories (Aim, Attack, Reload, Walk, Sneak, Sit, and more) and by actor
  (player, Kate, zombie). Hover a thumbnail to preview, click to play, then scrub, loop,
  and change speed.
• Pose the shot -- orbit freely or snap to the game's isometric camera, turn the
  character to any facing, and tune the lighting (ambient, key brightness and direction),
  each slider with a one-click reset.
• Export -- a transparent still, a sprite sheet, or a looping GIF of the current clip
  (512px, auto-optimised to stay under 1 MB).

It uses the same asset resolution as the icon maker, so it renders the vanilla body,
clothing, and weapons your mod reuses, plus anything the mod adds.

Also in this release

• Held items follow the hand's prop bone and use the engine's own attachment logic, so a
  weapon sits and swings the way the game holds it.
• Per-slider lighting reset in the icon maker as well.
